Hmm, I was expecting the patches to be numbered in the subject by
default. The correct order is:

swiotlb: make is_buffer_dma_capable architecture-specific
swiotlb: make range_needs_mapping architecture-specific
swiotlb/xen: update xen for swiotlb_arch_force_mapping changes
swiotlb: make swiotlb allocation functions architecture-specific
swiotlb/xen: update xen for changes to swiotlb allocation interface
swiotlb: make swiotlb phys<->bus translations architecture-specific
swiotlb/xen: update xen swiotlb for phys<->bus API changes
xen: remove arch/x86/xen/pci-swiotlb.c

Also xen-devel missed out due to a typo, sorry. See the LKML archives if
you are interested.
